Struct RenderSession 

pub struct RenderSession<'a> {
    pub caches: Option<&'a mut RenderCaches>,
    pub visible: Option<&'a Visibility>,
    pub deadline: Option<&'a Deadline>,
}

What one render call may reuse or restrict, beyond the page and the options.

A plain record with Default, so a caller names only the parts it has: RenderSession { caches: Some(&mut caches), ..Default::default() }. Both fields are absent by default and both defaults are the conservative answer — fresh caches, nothing hidden — which is why render_page can be the whole API for a caller who wants neither.

It carries borrows rather than owning anything: the caches outlive the call by construction (that is what they are for), and the visibility tree belongs to the pre-pass that computed it.

Fields

caches: Option<&'a mut RenderCaches>

Caches to reuse across calls, instead of a fresh set per page: a caller rendering many pages of one document flattens each glyph outline once for the run rather than once per page.

Determinism

Type-3 blue-zone snapping is order-dependent by design (see RenderCaches), so a page rendered with a warm cache can differ by a snapped pixel from one rendered cold. Reuse across pages of one document is intended; reusing caches across unrelated documents makes output depend on what was rendered before. For a byte-identical baseline, leave this None.

visible: Option<&'a Visibility>

Which objects optional content leaves visible. None draws them all.

It comes from pdfrum_page::page_visibility, a pre-pass over the same page with the document’s /OCProperties. Splitting it out is what keeps the render API free of a resolver: deciding visibility needs indirect-object lookup and a mutable evaluation cache, and consuming the answer needs neither — it is one index per object.

deadline: Option<&'a Deadline>

When the render must have stopped. None — the default — is no limit.

Read once before the target is allocated and once per object during the walk (nested lists included), so a page that has run out of time stops at the next object; the render then fails with Error::Limit rather than returning a pixmap with the rest of the page missing. Costs one branch per object when unset. A borrow, like the other two: the caller’s Limits owns it.
